If the decision has come down from the CEO 'to go', then you would have to be pretty comfortable with that. And I would have assumed he would have been consulted since the IOC does know the penalties for breaching curfew (since they deal with dispensations and policies on a daily basis.

This decision 'to go' would not have been made by the Duty Manager on the night. There would have been Senior Executive consultation.
